The east side of Watts carried a sound of its own — sirens echoing through the Jordan Downs Projects, laughter turning into shouts, and the rumble of lowriders rolling past cracked pavement.
For over five decades, one name has stayed engraved in those streets like graffiti that refuses to fade: Grape Street Watts Crips .




Born in the early 1970s, Grape Street rose out of the chaos and poverty that consumed the neighborhood. Back then, the Crip movement was spreading across Los Angeles, and Watts needed its own army. Local youth, tired of police harassment and rival threats, came together under one name — the street they all called home: Grape Street.

What started as unity for survival soon turned into something much bigger. Through the 1980s, as the crack era exploded, Grape Street grew into one of the most feared and respected sets in the city. They controlled their blocks with loyalty and fire, repping blue and purple with pride.


Their biggest war came from across the tracks — the Bounty Hunter Bloods out of Nickerson Gardens. The two housing projects became battlegrounds, divided by colors, reputation, and revenge.





By the 1990s, Grape Street had spread far beyond Watts. Their name reached other cities and even states, carried by members who moved out but never dropped the flag. The set became a symbol of survival — a family bound not by blood, but by the struggle of growing up in Jordan Downs.

The 2000s brought heat from every direction. Police raids, gang injunctions, and internal wars tried to choke out the hood’s identity. But even as the streets changed, the Grape Street Watts Crips never vanished. Younger generations picked up where the originals left off — still repping, still hustling, still protecting the block that raised them.







Now, decades later, Grape Street remains more than a name — it’s a legacy.
A symbol of loyalty, pain, and identity forged in the heart of Watts.
No matter how much the city changes, one truth still stands:
East Side Grape Street Watts Crips — forever rooted in the concrete of Jordan Downs.
